Chinese herbal medicines that can nourish the kidneys

The "kidney deficiency" that is commonly mentioned in society today is actually kidney deficiency in a narrow sense, such as spermatorrhea, impotence, premature ejaculation, sexual apathy, infertility, and infertility. But kidney deficiency can be subdivided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency, and kidney essence deficiency.

The key to kidney tonification in traditional Chinese medicine is to clarify whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency. People with Yin deficiency often have red faces and hot hearts; people with Yang deficiency are afraid of cold, have cold limbs and pale complexions. "Professor Xu pointed out that kidney deficiency also requires symptomatic medication. After middle age, physiological functions decline, and many people experience signs of aging such as back pain, tinnitus, dizziness, forgetfulness, insomnia, fatigue, loss of libido, increased nocturia, graying hair, loose teeth, etc., which are what Chinese medicine calls kidney deficiency.

Congenital deficiency, long-term malnutrition, chronic and wasting diseases, mental stress, depression, lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, excessive sexual intercourse or severe masturbation can all lead to kidney deficiency and premature aging. However, if you pay attention to your health after middle age, even if you suffer from kidney deficiency and premature aging, you can recover.

In addition, although some patients show symptoms of kidney deficiency, such as weakened sexual function, back pain, leg pain, etc., it may be due to problems in their lifestyle such as work fatigue, lack of exercise and irregular work and rest. As long as they adjust themselves, they do not need to take medicine.
